I installed liblightdm-gobject-1-0_1.2.3-0ubuntu1 and lightdm_1.2.3-0ubuntu1 on Precise with the following results:
* Timed autologin does not work at all with unity-greeter (though I see it's still marked as "In Progress"). * When switched to lightdm-gtk-greeter, the user is authenticated after the timeout but the login screen will still prompt for session selection and a push of the Login button. Also, no visual countdown/other display of the timeout. * Timed autologin only works for the first time lightdm is started, it no longer works after logout from a session. (Immediate autologin should not work after logout, but timed autologin should.) As such, version 1.2.3-0ubuntu1 does not in my opinion fix this bug on Precise. Will have to retest when the unity-greeter fix for Precise is available. ** Tags removed: verification-needed ** Tags added: verification-failed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/902852 Title: Timed autologin feature not working Status in Light Display Manager: Fix Released Status in Unity Greeter: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “lightdm” source package in Precise: Fix Committed Status in “unity-greeter” source package in Precise: In Progress Status in “lightdm” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “unity-greeter” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Not able to set an automatic login with a timeout on Ubuntu 12.04.1 [Test Case] 1.
